Government

Government includes the people and resources—as well as departments, agencies, programs, processes, laws, rules, and regulations—that define the relationship between federal, state, and local governments and their citizens. Some legal principles have a unique application when private citizens or entities interact with their governments.

In Ohio, the government structure is defined by the Ohio Constitution, which establishes the framework for state and local governance, including the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The state government includes various departments, agencies, and programs that create and enforce laws, rules, and regulations. Federal law also plays a significant role in defining the relationship between Ohio's government and its citizens, particularly in areas where federal and state authority overlap. Legal principles such as sovereign immunity, which protects the state from being sued without its consent, and the Administrative Procedure Act, which governs the process of creating and challenging regulations, are examples of unique applications when private citizens or entities interact with the government. Additionally, the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Administrative Code are key resources for understanding specific state statutes and regulations that affect the relationship between the government and the citizens of Ohio.
